woman u have ben rambling about revolutionising Mumbai...Just a simple question what have u done for Mumbai till now besides flashing ur sarees and cheap writings...grow up woman before u become one of the most hated people in Mumbai...dont bark like a dog..if u want to make a difference first be the change....and then people will take ur blog seriously....

hi shobha u could not take that comment from SRK sportingly while u keep bashing people left,right and centre.Please show sum spirit( spirit of mumbai lol!!!!!!!) and dont try to get cheap publicity using SRK's name

I usually follow your blog and enjoy reading what you have to say. But I must agree with the previous comments on this post, what a cheap shot. What SRK said wasn't pleasant either... But an eye for an eye is never the answer... Nothing constructive results. And what you have said is particularly insulting. And is the result of heightened emotions and do not embody the careful selection of words from a true scholar. I know you are capable of expressing your thoughts and disapproval in a more dignified fashion. Try taking the high road next time.

I am on Shobha's side. From what i read of this Shobha- Shahrukh dual, Shobha was not insulting in her first piece on Shahrukh. In his rebuttal he was insulting to her , so now she has a right to fight back.

Shobhaa atleast had the guts to speak her mind during the recent attacks instead of staying politically correct like SRK.He refused to acknowledge this fact and chose to make a cheap potshot at her about her saree collection.C'mon- all celebreties brand themselves- what about his perfumes?! He should have stuck to the issue at hand.But Shobhaa- you gotta take the high road on this... show everyone the class act you are ..

I agree with Anita & Chris. De was voicing her view of concern, SRK took a cheap shot. Could it be because he "wanted" some attention since his movie was opening this weekend? Hmmmmm... makes you wonder, na? And, women are accused of playing games to attract attention.

You Hit the nail on the head, and do spare him some designer Bindis too! He would look nice along with the junior Gandhi on his campaigns. Well he was actually spotting Rab De...from the corner of his eye hence that political correct message. But he can be over expressive with his emotions too..like his acting.I figured it out last year at the Sahara Party thrown in honor of our and Pakistani cricketers in Lucknow. Where in his own words he said, he had flown all the way from Mumbai to be with our neighbouring team.

C'mon anonymous- Shobhaa and aunty.. hehehhe- man- how I wish there were more such "aunties" around.She's one item aunty!!You go Shobhaa.. What I love about you is you don' spare anyone be it Amitabh,Sanjay Dutt,SRK or the politicians.. you take them on .. attagirl :-)

hey shobhaa, that was cheap but that's how we like it. lol. i m sure srk with his fantastic sense of humour will take it and give it back in his inimitable style. brace yourself for another wicked one from him. btw, been a while since u've commented on ur dear friend Amit, the Old B. U knw what, just one adverse comment from you shobhaa & he'll be awake the whole night blogging on you. And i don't need to tell you that he like srk also knows how to give it back. Infact he just needs to learn when to stop. lol.Cheers,

Shobhaa De sure has a way of putting up things which may pierce through ... causing lot of discomfort ...

Well i think without criticism there is no evolution ... no development ... no change ... this need to happen ...

She has her own points of views about the whole interview and all she expressed was she expected more from a guy who is loved by the whole nation ... Man who is visible on a ad of Tag Heuer to wrappers of Sun feast ... People look up to him,envy him .. She was right

But on the other hand it was also right that he did not say anything wrong .. he sure missed out elements expected ... again ... different point of views ...

P.S. : Shobhaa De i am not pleased with the way u replied .... sounds so immature ... we expect better ... Don't fall of your standards by just a mere comment ...

O Shobha pls grow up. I have been reading your articles for a long time now. And as srk said they make interesting reading. That's it. If u think you inspire people by your writing, then my dear lady you r sadly mistaken. If you think that your coming out on TV chnannels immediately after the attacks shows what a responsible citizen you are and that others who didn't are shying away from responsibilities, then again u are on a different planet altogether. Also, your judgement on SRK was uncalled for since you reacted merely by the few lines he said on BBC radio but you didn't wait to see his strong, mature, intelligent and educated views shared with the likes of Barkha and Rajdeep. I do not think he was politically correct. I think his reasoning was apt, to the point and very very realistic. Also, I remember that once you had written about being a guest at SRK's party in mannat and how you enjoyed his hospitality. So I would just like to say: 'jis thali mein khaya usi mein chhed kiya.' shame on you shobha. Earlier there were writers whose writings could inspire people to start movements- yours do too, albeit of a different kind- i want to move my hand towards your face and slap you. By the way you are also famous for irking a certain mr. B but then I saw you inviting him to release one of your books. oh well you are a true socialite ma'm. such is life dearies. My humble request to SRK and his wife. pls do not ever invite shobha at your parties, she might have a gala time there and then might just wake up the next morning and write about how badly dressed gauri was or something of that kind. Such is life dearies!!!

me too, am completely in the dark!what exactly did SRK say that got our shobha dera so miffed?shobha, in future, please do give a proper reference to your regular readers...we are not always in the know, specially since many of us live abroad.rashmi

Yup!!! and we can call hom queen Khan or queer khan all the better.Well what would really make sense is Him standing on the steps of Jama Masjid and preaching what he tried to on all the television channels.Yes even I saw the Sahara bash on tv where he was jumping around like an agitated ape and lamenting why arent they allowed to play in Mumbai.Shame on You Shahrukh! Shame on your pathetic queery reaction ouching on Couch with Koel!

the lest we can expect from our citizens in this time of crises is some maturity and to take criticism constructively. De, has spoken for shahruk's performance in Rab Ne... she hasnt liked his off screen behaviour.

By, the way, mr/ms SRK worshipper, you seem to be illetrate and un educated and uncivilized. Thats exactly the kind of language that needs to be used in a public forum. kudos. Why dont you misuse your freedom of expression and hurl a few hindi gaalis that pay respect to mothers and sisters. That would be really commendable.

Shobhaa De, has been sarky... not abusive. retort in the same fashion if you wish to.

using words like Bitch, fuck you and bastard (i dont minse words like you) shows that you are very civilized. and our country needs people like you.

u came forth announced ur solidarity just after the attack,, SRK did the same after 2 days.. end of the day wut difference did it make to Mumbai or wut did Mumbai gain from you and him??NOTHING... juss another page3 controversy and I find it difficult to fathom wut do u feel so proud about???..How sad!

Ho About SHUT DE... That shoudl be very apt for you. Remember you are just a cynic and a critique which makes a living criticising all the good things in life.Pleeease do us a favour.. dont try to get into real life.. We are better without you..

I can understand that in between all your kitty parties and page 3 bullshit, you are left with little time to write something serious and constructive. Obviously SRK is the easiest target as he is most famous. Why don't u dedicate a whole blog on his name..as that will surely bring you more name than this cheap publicity joke. Otherwise, go and beg him to do the same coz if he says "Shobhaa will look lovely in my six pack abs" then believe me you will get worldwide recognition. Otherwise, write on someone else as you can't really do any harm to SRK anyways.

Your article on buy designers sarees is quite interesting and inspiring. Nowadays girls do not wear sarees that much but I believe after reading this article they are going to understand the value of traditional sarees. Great work.
